Johannesburg - The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa)
is exploring the formation of a new labour federation, deputy general secretary
Karl Cloete said on Thursday.

"If all fails, we would establish a new independent
labour federation. We would talk to other federations, such as the National Council
of Trade Unions, the Federation of Unions of SA, and other independent
registered trade unions," he said in Johannesburg.

"This not what Karl Cloete is saying, this is a
Numsa resolution."

Cloete was briefing reporters about the union's four-day
central executive committee meeting that ended in Benoni on the East Rand on
Thursday.
